New Zealand Trip (Part 1)
WARNING: LONG ENTRY AHEAD. GRAB YOUR FAVOURITE SANDWICH AND A CUP OF TEA WHILE YOU MARVEL AT THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. :)
i supposed the trip to new zealand can only be retold via pictures to showcase the beauty of one of the most unpolluted countries in the world. so yeah this post would be pretty much like aphotolog. by the way sorry for the delay in post, because i took about 1500 pictures and have had a really difficult time just to choose and upload these pictures haha.
went on this vacation with my mom, sister, cousins (yanying, yanying's younger brother yangzhi and shunxiang), aunt jane and uncle kelvin plus my grandparents. so we pretty much booked a bus and our driver-cum-tour-guide brought us around new zealand on the bus throughout the trip.
Day 1 / 2
the flight to new zealand wasn't a peaceful one at all. was supposed to fly to sydney and wait for 3 hours before taking another connect flight to new zealand.
taking off from singapore to sydney during sunset...
due to bad weather, our flight made a detour to melbourne instead first and we had to wait for two hours before re-boarding the flight to sydney.
so i slept at melbourne airport and my sister caught me rubbing my blocked nose...
flew to sydney and was told that our supposed connected flight have already flown off and we would need to wait for about another 6 hours before the next flight to christchurch, new zealand.
so what did we do? of course we ate our lunch at sydney airport...before sleeping again.
got so bored sleeping i went to the children's playground there with my cousins. pretty much like those children adventure centres that i used to go to and i was banned there because i was taller than their restricted height but i went in anyway since there was no one at the playground haha. forgot to bring a book along with me on my hand-held baggage to kill time! my cousin was like laughing away...pretty funny yea college one still climbing these kind of things. come to think of it it was quite a same but i guessed boredom induces people to do the craziest things :P.
got so bored i asked my cousins to do crazy faces while i photographed them with my camera haha.
after a hair-rising journey via air new zealand airplane (the plane met with a blizzard and it was pretty much like a scary roller coaster ride on the way to christchurch and i got pretty scared on board), we finally arrived at christchurch at an ungodly hour of 12 midnight only to find that our luggage didn't come together with the plane...
waited for another 2 hours while my aunt and uncle went to enquire about our lost luggage.
the luggage arrived only three days later and because of this i wore the same clothes for three days and survived on the very pathetic river valley concert band jacket that i brought along onto the plane.
checked into our first accommodation Holiday Inn at 1am!
